Breast Cancer Foundation NZ's chief executive Evangelia Henderson described the lack of funding for drugs that extend the lives of advanced breast cancer patients as "heartless and cruel". This is generally good news, but such laws also have the potential to cause confusion because many women and even many doctors are uncertain how to proceed with the information.

Moore said that teams of walkers have participated in the non-competitive event, including those formed by individuals, as well as from schools, churches, local businesses, community groups such as the NAACP, and participants in the Real Men Wear Pink campaign.

"While breast cancer is not preventable, early detection is the best protection".

Every woman is potentially at risk of getting breast cancer.

The general recommendation is that women start having annual mammograms at age 40, said Sonu Suri, a radiologist in the Breast Center at Mercy Hospital Joplin.

Breast cancer in younger women tends to be a more aggressive cancer, researchers say, because it's often diagnosed later, is farther along when found and insurance companies set minimum ages on mammograms, which can deter detection. This is largely attributed to early detections and medical treatments that allow people to live longer with the disease.

Harpst also said she thinks it's important for people to be their own advocates, do their own research and decide what they want to do for themselves.

Two years later, in February 2018, a biopsy revealed she had stage 2 breast cancer.

Radiation to the chest to treat another cancer (not breast cancer), such as Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, results in a higher-than-average risk of breast cancer.

Women who haven't had a full-term pregnancy or have their first child after age 30 have a higher risk of breast cancer compared to women who gave birth before age 30.
